Summary

Annular epiretinal membranes can cause unusual macular changes. Surgical removal revealed myofibroblast-like cells and collagen, suggesting traction led to retinal tissue herniation.

Area of Science:

  • Ophthalmology
  • Retinal Diseases
  • Surgical Pathology

Background:

  • Epiretinal membranes (ERMs) can affect retinal structure.
  • Annular ERMs are less common and may present unique pathologies.
  • Macular morphologic abnormalities require detailed investigation.
